KEMAUKS. General characters of our specimens are as follows : 

 Telcutosori are amphigenous, small, scattered or gregarious, roundish, powdery and 

 sooty black in colour. Uredospores are mixed in the sori, globose or ellipsoidal, 

 echinulate, light brown, with two germ- pores, 25 32x20 26 p. Teleutospores 

 are ellipsoidal, obloog-clavate or irregular in shape, rounded and very slightly 

 thickened at the apex, more or less constricted at the septum, rounded or attenuated 

 at the base and deep brown in colour, 39 68x22 35 /A. Epispove is provided 

 with small, scattered and inconspicuous warts. The germ-pore of the upper cell is 

 at the apex, that of the lower near the septum, each pore is provided with a 

 flattened, hyaline papilla. Pedicels are hyaline, short and deciduous, sometimes 

 attaining 29/4 in length. 



Tiie characters of the pedicel and warts of the teleutospores do not coincide 

 with the description of P. Treleasiana ; and also those of the papilla and the 

 measurements of the teleutospores differ evidently from. those of P. areolata. 

 Moreover, these two species have no uredospores in their life cycles. While, all 

 characters coincide practically to the descriptions of P. Zopfii. 



In our specimens, ^Ecidium and uredosori are lacking, but believe these stages 

 will be collected and supplemented.
